My husband has cancer and my 10 yr old son is struggling. He knows what is going on. Is there support out there for him, to help him and help me to help him please, thank you xx
Hi Mandy, sorry to read about your husband and that your son is struggling.
There is a site called Rip Rap although I believe it's aimed at supporting teenage children who has a parent with Cancer, but I wondered if it might be worth you having a look to see if it suggests strategies for helping you to support your son.
The hospital where your husband has treatment may also be able to suggest or recommend support groups for him. I think there are helpful pages on the CRUK website too that may offer information.
Is your son's school aware of your family circumstances as they may be able to offer him pastoral care and support if he needs it in school.
Hope this helps a little, but hopefully others will be along soon with other suggestions.
